Material Comparison

Quick reference for selecting the right honeycomb core based on weight, strength, temperature, and cost considerations.

Material Density Strength Temp. Range Best Use
Aluminum Low (16-192 kg/m³) High -50 to 180 °C Aerospace, marine, architectural
Aramid (Nomex) Very Low (24-144 kg/m³) Very High -55 to 180 °C Aerospace interiors, rail, FR panels
Stainless Steel Medium-High Highest Up to 800 °C EMI shielding, high-temp, ventilation
Paper Low Medium Ambient Doors, furniture, packaging
PP (Polypropylene) Low (60-120 kg/m³) Medium-High -30 to 80 °C Automotive, marine, energy absorption

Values are typical reference ranges. Actual specifications depend on cell size, foil thickness, and customization. Contact our engineering team for project-specific data sheets.

Customization Capabilities

Every Mex-core honeycomb material can be engineered to your exact project specification -- from cell geometry to surface finish -- backed by ISO-certified production and precision processing.

  • Cell Size & Geometry
    From micro-cell 1.8 mm to standard 25 mm; hexagonal, OX-core, or inclined-cell geometries.
  • Foil Thickness & Density
    Foil from 0.036 mm to 0.2 mm; densities optimized for stiffness or weight reduction.
  • Precision Cutting
    Tolerance up to ±0.1 mm; CNC and waterjet cutting for complex contours.
  • Special Treatments
    Perforation, inclination angles (30°/45°/custom), flame-retardant, and aerospace-grade options.
  • Supply Form
    Available expanded or unexpanded, in block or slice form, ready for downstream lamination.
